Looking at Söchting oxidizer on BossAquaria. Does anyone have any experience with it? Certainly looks like a great addition to my nano tank, improving oxygen levels for my shrimps.

Definitely an addition ! My order is placed with the Bee Shrimp Mineral.....must thank Dean into the research and getting these product to our shores !

Sprae .... You must have plans for more nano tanks, breeding tanks ..... LOL, I was once contented with having 1 tank, then 2, and swore my 3rd was the last. Now I have 10 !!!

Just added the oxydator into my nano. Initial reactions;

- This mini oxydator fits well into my tank but need to make sure it's accessible from the neck of the Edge.

- Only using one catalyst as my tank is under 30L. Very easy to set up.

- First few minutes, there were lot's of mini bubbles. Probably mostly from the ceramic letting air out. As the Edge has enclosed top, I had to place it so these bubbles to the top of the neck.

- Once settled, the micro oxygen bubbles very slowly seeps out and I place it into it's permanent spot.

- The shrimps are very curious at this and quite a few are crawling over it. They are feeding now and seems fine.

That's it for now. Certain has no adverse effects that I can see to my shrimps so far. As it's only 4.9% H2O2 solution, even if it's all split/leaked I think it's mostly harmless. I will monitor my algae conditions and activity of my shrimps.

After a day there's it's certainly h2o2 being used. There's about 5-7mm gone.

Let's hope that's normal operations :)

Can you overdose? Is using the D in an undersized tank going to cause problems?

there can never be to much oxygen mate :) using the D is not going to be a problem.

Very very nice Sprae! How will this work if I have CO2 running in the tank? Will it cause disharmony with the PH?

I don't think so, but I've got a low tech tank without the need for CO2 injections.

Just Recieved mine today, I set them both up and put 1 with 1 catalyst in my 36L and 1 with 2 catalysts in my 180L rack. Looking good... The shrimp jumped straight onto it ;)

My question is, does the catalyst wear out over time? Or is it simply a case of using solution and that's the only thing you have to replace.

The catalyst does wear out of effectiveness. But not sure how long it lasts.

over time yes it will wear out, but not for a very very long time :)

Mine is almost half empty in less than a week. I'm thinking the catalyst is new and reacting too much. Either that or my nano tank lack oxygen quite severely.

Do you have lots of surface aggitation? The edge dosent look like it would get much filled to the top?

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
